A Super Highway In My Front Yard

I have a superhighway in my front yard. 
It appeared in the night. 
As if by magic. 
Ants are traveling along it 
Whistling a tune I think it is a Maroon 5 song 
But I am not sure 
Some say I should get rid of it. 
I am fascinated by it a superhighways 
Begun with one giant wad 
Of pink gum.
Ant traveled

Thank you M.L. I kind of boxed myself into a corner and had to march my way out Two by Two.

Yes! What a great way to see them. Ants so plentiful here. They are clever Panagiota

Ants so rapidly find things like a wad of gum, parading toward it in such a stream! Surrounding it, making it black quickly.

Thank you Andrea. Trixie is all excited whirling and twirling with blatant HAHA ness from your comment.

As long as they stay OUTSIDE, ant are fascinating! ;) (Still shuddering a little, thinking of my weeks-long home invasion...)

I shudder thinking rather of my 'Asian beetle' invasion where I was scraping tens of thousands of them off a bedroom ceiling, and they crawled the walls faster than I could scrape them up.

Hilarious! It is strange to me that our ideas are similar on the same day, my friend.
